Return-to-Neutral Adjustment
To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return,
perform the following steps.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn
off the engine.
2. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating
position, pull the levers rearward and release.
3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
neutral position. If the levers do not align with the
notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to adjust
the neutral return rod (B, Figure 35).
Adjustment
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn
off the engine.
2. There are three jam nuts (A, Figure 35) on the linkage
rod (B). The first two are used together to turn the rod
and the third (towards the front of the machine) is used
to lock the rod in place. Loosen the jam nut that locks
against the ball joint and turn the linkage rod to adjust.
If the machine creeps forward, turn the linkage rod
CLOCKWISE (while standing at the rear of the machine,
facing forward). If the machine creeps backward, turn
the rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

the engine stopped, the key removed and the tractor on
level ground.

achieved.
4. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release
to check position again. Adjust as necessary to align
the ground speed control levers with the notches in the
neutral lock plate.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed
while the machine is running.
